Seed banks

The seed module, developed collaboratively with the Millennium Seed Bank at RBG Kew, has broad curation and research applications for projects who collect, s
tore, test and distribute seed. Seed accession and test data, related vouchers and images are all integrated and can be published online.

PDF files, Excel sheets and other documents can be linked to accession, individual plant, species and other records. Examples are material transfer documents and species level spreadsheets.

Images of seed or the plants in their original habitat can be added, together with voucher images as available.

Projects can extend the standard BRAHMS seed data file structures by editing BRAHMS extension files which become a part of your database.

The Rapid Data Entry (RDE) module is used to capture new seed accessions and test data or to transfer data from other formats such as Excel worksheets.

You can design your own website and publish a virtual seedbank garden or online plant catalogue directly from BRAHMS using BRAHMS WebConnect.
